Challenge Wānaka is almost here! 🏊‍♂️🚴‍♀️🏃‍♂️

As the training ramps up, don’t ignore those pre-race niggles - if something isn’t feeling right, it’s worth getting it checked before race day. A quick review now can help you line up feeling confident and prepared.

Remember the basics too: hydrate well, fuel properly, rest up, and listen to your body. Pushing yourself is part of the challenge… but so is taking care of yourself.

We’re especially excited this year as we have a Cardrona Doctors team competing 💚 We’ll be out there alongside you and cheering everyone on!

Two years down - here’s to many more! 🥳

Prescription length changes from 1 February 2026 📅

From 1 February 2026, some patients may be eligible for longer prescriptions (up to 12 months), where this is clinically safe and appropriate.

Not all medicines or conditions will be included. Decisions will always be made by the prescribing clinician, with your health and safety as the priority. Prescriptions will continue to be collected from your pharmacy in maximum 3-monthly instalments (early or extended supplies are not permitted).

Please take a look through the slides for more detail. To find out whether this option may be suitable for you, we recommend booking a dedicated appointment with your GP.

We are devastated by the shootings in Bondi, Sydney, yesterday. Our thoughts and aroha are with all those affected.

If you're feeling overwhelmed or upset by the news coverage and social media commentary, it's okay to take a break from scrolling to look after your mental wellbeing.

Step outside and get some fresh air, connect with a friend in person, or do some simple deep breathing exercises - these simple acts make a big difference to how you feel.

If you need extra support, you can free text or call 1737 to speak to a trained counsellor, or visit mentalhealth.org.nz for free tools and guidance.

💖 This breast cancer awareness month, we are reminding you of the importance of regular mammograms in helping to detect the early signs of breast cancer. The usual eligibility age for free breast screening is between 45 and 69 years of age, with a recent change moving to increase this to 75 years.

Mental Health Awareness Week 2025 – “Top Up Together” 💚

Recently our team joined Holly at Reform Wānaka for a fun (and challenging!) reformer Pilates class. It was a wonderful reminder that looking after our mental health can be as simple as moving our bodies and spending time together. Let’s all find little ways to “top up” our wellbeing — together ✨
